Hold On (We will Prevail)

soft and dark

I see the weight upon your shoulders

I see the tears you try to hide

But hear me now my broken-hearted people

Don't let the sorrow steal your pride

Don't give up

Don't give up

Don't give up

When the night gets long and cold

And the road is hard to find

Jah is holding every soul

And the morning light is yours to find

Hold on my people, hold on

Jah light is shining through the darkest night

Sing Baba keep your heart alive

The morning sun will rise again

Red earth where our fathers lay

But green fields where our mothers pray

Children dream beneath the open mountains

Altars passing wisdom on the way

This blessed land upon his arm

Every family hand in hand

The rain will fall and fill the ground

Till the river sings again

Hold on my people hold on

Jah light is shining through the darkest night

Simbabwe keep your heart light

The morning sun will rise again

We will prevail

Listen close my brothers

Listen close my sisters

This darkness is not the ending

Jah is watching over every foe

And tomorrow it will come

Tomorrow it will come

So hold your mothers and your fathers

Lift your young ones toward the dawn

Every hand that joins the Father

Makes the road for us to carry on

Do not lose your faith tonight

In His glory we are blessed

Every heart that holds the light

Will find the home it longs for best

Hold on my people hold on

Jah light is shining through the darkest night

Zimbabwe keep your heart to life

The morning sun will rise again

We will prevail

We will prevail

Faith is the road

Home is the heart

Jah is
